My estranged cousin Gertrude is visiting me in London this weekend, she’s never been to our fair capital before and I’m run amok…
[this actually means: ‘(among members of certain Southeast Asian cultures) a psychic disturbance characterized by depression followed by a manic urge to murder’ and I don’t actually mean it like that, but hey, [...]

Cousin Gertude and the lesser known hot spots
Do you want to be a record breaker?
After Edd’s comment on the blog yesterday about cup stacking records (have a look here and visit the link for an amazing display of cup stacking – never thought I’d be so impressed by that!), it got me thinking about world records.
There are the Colin Jacksons of this world who do very credible things such [...]

A mouse in my house!
Last week, there was a mouse in my house…
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I came home to find my housemate prowling the house in his dressing gown, armed with a saucepan and a bowl of carrots. He was on a mouse hunt, as he’d spotted one [...]
When will I, will I be famous?
Lucky old me, I went to see Fame the musical the other day in Dartford (when I said I was going to Dartford, someone in the office said to me, isn’t that just a tunnel? Well I can confirm that it’s not just a tunnel, there’s a theatre, a car [...]

School trip naughtiness, tell us your stories
This week we have mostly been thinking about school trips, having had a team building trip to The Sticks (that place just past the leafy, outer London suburbs) with our parent charity BioRegional. Among other things we faced fears of heights with a spot of abseiling, got lost in the woods [...]
Did I hear that right?
This week I have been reminded of a story my friend told me about a friend of hers who went into an audition and misread the script and said:
“I’m gonna be big, I’m gonna be the best, I’m gonna be A-One Pasino”,
NEXT,
It should have been, Al Paccino.
Comedy mishearings are the best.
Celebrity Schmoozing
The hot topic of conversation this week at Laundry HQ has been celebrity spotting, after I had an exciting brush with celebrity when I was in A&E on Monday night (don’t worry I’m fine, I was accompanying a friend after a not-very-nice affair, but he’s doing better now). Hmmm I thought that man looks [...]
The Laundry, battling the elements for your recycling needs
It’s snowing - hooray - well I hope it is as I am writing this from sunny (but cold) Wednesday. (update: hurrah it is snowing. Well hurrah because it looks pretty, boo because it means we all spent far too long getting to work today and The Laundry vans are battling the elements [...]
Why is throwing the javelin blindfolded like playing the banjo?
As mentioned in an earlier post, my dad plays the banjo. The banjo (or rather banjos, he has a whole fleet of them (is that the collective noun?) in different shapes and sizes, big ones, small ones, fat ones, thin ones, long ones, short ones (ooo it’s like Dr Seuss) but [...]

This week, we [...]
Older & stupider? It’s not too late, grab a Rubix Cube now!
This week around the lunch club table, I was lamenting the fact that as I have aged…(no I’m no that old – young enough to joke about aging)…I have become more stupid. (Does this count as an oxymoron because I used the word lamenting in a sentence trying to exemplify my [...]
